    OKC -8.5 Tonight

    Line says it all. OKC is already up to -9 now after opening up at -8 with majority of the public on LAC.

    LAC is in the middle game of a b2b2b, and I'm sure CP3 is looking ahead to tomorrow's game in New Orleans.

    Really bad spot here for LAC. Oh and lets throw all the situational angles out the window, OKC is a much better team than the Clipps. Clipps have been mediocre at best since losing Billups.

    Completely agree. And after yesterdays loss in Utah (and add to that the fact that Clippers beat them a few months back), I think they'll be coming with their game faces on today. OKC is a good bet imo

    I don't know, the Clippers will be some what motivated here as well after last night's game.

    Have them teased at +15 from last night, not entirely confident with it now.

    Line is a joke at -9, okc or pass. Cannot even fathom how anyone can take okc -9 here, that is why I like okc.

    Exactly. OKC and LAC are both big favorites of the public. I knew the line would be very telling. If it were around 9, then OKC easy. Middle game of a b2b2b is a bad spot to be in, especially in OKC.

    Cp3 probably looking forward to his homecoming game but -9 seems too much to lay.

    Probably go for live or 2nd half bets.

    Passing on it. I can get it at -3.5, but I told myself that I wouldn't bet against the Knicks until they come down from this post-D'Antoni euphoric high.

    LAC have not covered in awhile. Got blown out last night, did not cover at home against a depleted HOU team or a DET team.. and lost home games before that.

    This is a great spot for LAC to get blown out. There is something happening behind closed doors we dont know about.

    reminds a little bit of Portland getting blown out in indy, like the clippers did last night in indy, and the very next night Portland got blown out against the knicks on a b2b. McMillan got fired.

    OKC is a far far better team. Durant probably wont have the poor shooting night he had last night in utah . Expect him to bounce

    Probably going to try a player prop, Durant pts over 27.5.

    I'm probably going to go OKC 1st half. If the Clips are going to mail it in , it generally shows early (just like Port mailing it in early and Indy and the knicks both blew them out in the 1st half).

    If OKC doesn't cover the 1st half, then I'll go again a little more at halftime as OKC has been a very good 2nd half team lately (compared to their early play) .. and I'll get a better line than the -9 full game number by going that way.

    thats how I usually bet when I feel a blowout is about to ensue.

    maybe I'm outsmarting myself in this spot, but that's the way I'll play it

    Yeah I'm on OKC -4.5 for the half as well. I wouldn't be surprised if the Clipps just didn't even show up here. And I'm with you, I wouldn't be surprised if Del Negro got let go before the end of this road trip.

    OKC covers the 1st half easily, up by 16 pts at halftime.

    now we don't have to worry about some freaky 2nd half backdoor cover on a close to double-digit full game line.

    play is won and move on to the next play. Done

    This is why I love betting the 1st half if I feel a blowout is about to happen. This 3rd Q has been even, and now as you move into the 4th, who knows if the clips nail 3 three's in a row, or if OKC sits some players for a backdoor full-game cover.

    Hell . OKC is only up 9 now in the 2nd half.

    It's the same thing in the spurs-minnesota game with the Spurs -9.5 for the game. Alot of people here thought that would be a blowout, and the Spurs easily covered the 1st half. But now in the 2nd half the Wolves are just 3 pts from a full game cover

    love the 1st half bet if i feel a blowout is about to happen, had Magic 1st half as well with PHX coming from a hard fought game in Miami
